Sonic Mania

Gonna be interesting to see if this makes it out of the Apple ecosystem or if it gets delisted forever because it truly is a toss up

it should be noted that Marza is a Sega-owned entity as their CG house and also are the credited co-producers of both of the live action movies with Blur (who did the Shadow cutscenes)

the bosses in superstars are such a tedious waiting game even with the clones that i think i genuinely prefer the sonic 4 bosses all things said and done

i had a pretty glowing post sitting in this thread for the past few days i never got around to editing, but yeah

overall i really like Superstars and it really gives me Sonic CD vibes in very-particular ways, and overall it feels like the best one of ā€œtheseā€ that they’ve made.

that said, i’m on the last boss and almost can’t be bothered to finish it because of how long it takes after dying. bosses where you have to wait are my least-favorite kind of boss (my wife can attest to this based on how much yelling i did during Luigi’s Mansion 3 bosses) and this one simply is not fun. the others could be annoying but were usually over quick enough - this last boss (i mean presumably idk if there’s another hidden zone after this one like S3&K) just sucks. every sequence takes forever, you have very few rings to work with and don’t get any re-ups for stage 2. i mean it’s sort of ā€œold schoolā€ but it’s also sort of ā€œbullshitā€

the wildest part of superstars is locking the great looking cel shaded models behind a bizarre tie in deal where you have to spend $60 at kroger lol

this last boss was a slogging boring nightmare, might have been one of the worst classic style bosses i’ve done in a while because of how much you have to do again everytime you die

overall i definitely cooled on my initial warm impressions of this game but there are some neat little things here and there. i agree it feels like a really great ā€œone of theseā€ but there’s a lot of parts that feel too overlong or over padded. the aesthetic hook is cute and i mean i tolerated it enough to get all the emeralds but im not sure its worth it enough to play the entire whole game again with a new character to complete the thing

Have they announced the voice actor yet? I think they should try to get Mickey Rourke or Harvey Keitel

to me Christain Bale is the choice that would be the absolute funniest possible outcome

Yeah! Christian Bale doing an incredibly specific regional accent making his voice totally unrecognizable would be great
